Leia rolled her eyes as if she was talking to a stupid person. "You need to get something straight, okay? I'm fearless, so I don't need protection. Plus, I wouldn't have come in if I thought I was in danger. I'm here to sincerely negotiate with you." Shirley met her agent's eyes cautiously and said, "Fine. Let's talk in the inner room." She waved at her fans and smiled at them. "Go ahead and enjoy yourselves. I'll settle this and come out right away."Shirley's fans immediately stopped her, looking concerned. "No, this woman is cunning. You'll be bullied if you go with her.""You don't have to be polite with such a shameless woman. We'll make her get down on her knees and say sorry to you first!"Shirley's agent tried to mediate the situation. "Calm down, Shirley will be fine. Just let them talk privately. We can always get revenge for her if anything happens." The fans let it go since it made sense.The private room was big, with a small inner room of around eight or night squ
"How dare you!" Shirley did not expect Leia to stay unaffected, and abruptly stood up to slap her. Leia grabbed Shirley's wrist and said coldly, "Do you know what kind of relationship causes the most regret? The kind you had with Xavier. Did he love you? Yes, he loved you so much that he doted on you without any boundaries. He helped you get your glory, but then he had a change of heart. You must be grieving because of it, right?""You…! What is it you want? I knew you were here to make fun of me. I even thought that you had some kind of bargaining chip..." Shirley cursed angrily and tried to struggle free. Her face twisted as she threatened, "If I scream, my fans will enter the room. Then, they'll drag you out and teach you a hard lesson.""Yes, I'm aware of that. After all, fans always take after their idols!" Leia let go of Shirley's hand and continued aloofly, "Don't worry, I didn't have to come here to argue with you. I'm just here to confirm whether you still love Xavier and
"My eyes?" Shirley looked bewildered for a second, but then her expression turned smug. She stroked her cheek and said, "Yes, I'm pretty, and so are my eyes. When I made my debut, people said my eyes were as bright as the moon. But... it doesn't matter. Even if you're jealous of me, I can't give you my eyes!""I need your eyes. If you're willing to give them to me, Xavier will be yours from now on," Leia replied bluntly. However, Shirley was still confused. All she knew was that Leia seemed to be very interested in her eyes, but she definitely wasn't stupid enough to give them to Leia. "Hah! Are you kidding me?" Shirley crossed her arms and laughed mockingly. "Firstly, I won't let you have my eyes. Secondly, Xavier is mine—I don't have to give up my eyes to get him." "I know that my request is ridiculous, and of course you won't say yes… but I'm just here to remind you. If you give your eyes to me, I have ways to help you get back with Xavier. If you say no..." Leia paused, then s
Leia knew basic self-defense, but there were too many people attacking her. Amidst the chaos, Shirley's fans pulled her hair and scratched her face, and some of them even tried to tear her clothes off...Shirley watched everything from nearby with a victorious smile. Her agent became worried. "Shirley, will it be dangerous if this continues? She's the young lady of the Osborne family, after all..""Of course it's dangerous since so many people are beating her up… but it's none of my business. My fans did it, and they were so crazy that I couldn't do anything about it. Plus... didn't we leave long ago? We didn't see anything." Shirley smiled coyly, then raised her head and left the private room proudly."Ah!" Leia screamed pitifully and tried to struggle, but the fans had become more extreme after getting drunk.Meanwhile, Shirley bumped into Xavier the moment she exited the club. "Xavier..." She looked at him in surprise, then panic gripped her. If Xavier knew that she purposely
Shirley raised her head and locked eyes with Xavier, her gaze soft. "So... You've been worried about me all this time. You still care about me, don't you?""I just think it's better for you if you further your studies now." Xavier's expression was icy, with no emotion on his face whatsoever. In his mind, Shirley was a part of his past he couldn't get rid of. He has sacrificed a lot for her, and it might have been out of habit or pity that he didn't want his former girlfriend to have her eyes gouged out. Shirley was someone he used to love, and Stefan was his childhood friend—he would hate for either of those relationships to be ruined. It was best to make Shirley leave Beach City and lay low in a place where Stefan couldn't find her."I'll go if you think I should leave Beach City." Shirley was not as averse towards the option now, and for the first time, agreed with Xavier about it. She could foresee that Leia would do anything to get revenge on her after tonight, and Xavier might n
Xavier looked down at Shirley's hand and said icily, "I thought I made myself very clear. It's best not to have anything between us except business." "Why are you being so cruel? You came to me today, and it's proof that there's more between us. You care about me, so why do we have to go against our hearts and hurt each other?""That's you, not me.""Don't be stubborn. I know that you hooked up with Ms. Osborne lately out of spite, but you should know that I no longer have anything to do with your father. I—""Don't bring my father up!" Xavier instantly turned hostile and pushed Shirley away. "Are you mad? Do you think I'll let bygones be bygones and go back to you? Do you think I have no self-respect?""Xavier, don't... don't be mad!" Shirley bit her lip, regretting mentioning Xavier's father. It was his sore spot and biggest humiliation, and she could understand why. She figured he wouldn't be bothered by it if he didn't love her deeply, and his reaction only confirmed this. Em
The number of the onlookers grew, and some of them even used their phones to do live streams. In this way, Shirley's career was ruined.In a dilemma, Xavier took off his coat and draped it over Shirley. After that, he forcefully pulled her to her feet and hissed, "I don't care if you want to retire or not, just get up first.""Xavier, you like me. I can see that. You've always been in love with me..." Shirley hid under his coat, affection shining in her eyes and her voice trembling. It seemed like women had to be shameless when facing a soft-hearted man like Xavier. He could not bear to push her away, making this the most intimate moment between them after they had fallen out with each other. Many people took photos of him doting on her like what he used to do in the past, and the so-called homewrecker seemed like nothing now. "Stop making a scene. Let's get out of here." Xavier refused to talk much, and just hugged her shoulders and held her hand. He brushed past the crowd, wantin
Xavier refused to even look at the homewrecker, and went to the parking lot to get his car. Before he could open his car, he heard people talking."Hey, isn't that Ms. Leia Osborne?""Those people are too cruel. She's a rich young lady, but they stripped her bare. Are they courting death?""You're right. But they're smart. Since they're in a group, they won't be punished much.""But I don't think they're cruel. After all, nobody asked Ms. Osborne to be a homewrecker. I hate homewreckers the most!"Xavier' heart pounded in his chest and he grabbed a man nearby by the collar and demanded, "Who's the homewrecker who's being beaten up?"The man said agitatedly, "What does it have to do with you? Are you out of your mind?""I'm asking you—who is it?" Xavier was usually a calm person, but he couldn't stay calm right now. His grip on the man's collar tightened. "It's Ms. Leia Osborne! Why didn't you go and see it for yourself since you're so curious—" Xavier pushed him aside quickly,
